    Who Should Be On The 2019 Deathlist?

    Here's a few suggestions of who could come back. Queen Elizabeth II: May still be in excellent shape, but it would be a disaster if she died off the list. Peter Alliss: 88 next year and doesn't seem to be in the best of health. Abdelaziz Bouteflika: Rarely seen in public and has had multiple health scares. Critics even call him "the living dead". James Randi: Had a mini-stroke last year. Recovered, but rare for an 89-year old to survive a stroke. Nicholas Parsons: 96 next year. Potential bedblocker. Murray Walker: Also 96 next year, and born on the same day as Parsons! Jacques Chirac: Very frail and is losing his memory. Nobby Stiles: Late-stage dementia. WHY WAS HE DROPPED?
